Town police responded at 12:12 a.m., and the homeowner told them she was in her home when she saw a bright light in her front yard. She looked, and saw that her bushes were on fire and someone was running down her driveway, toward the street, to a waiting parked vehicle. The vehicle took off toward Route 302.

The fire spread to the front of the home; Circleville firefighters put it out. Nobody was hurt, and the homeowner was able to return to her home.
